BARBARA E. MINNICK, age 64, of Bel Air, died at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center on Wednesday, December 31, 2003 following a courageous battle with cancer.

After her retirement, she worked part time at the Lottery kiosk in the Harford Mall.
Barbara was a member of Oak Grove Baptist Church, and she especially enjoyed the Living Christmas Tree that was performed at Christmas time. Her favorite song was Amazing Grace, it brought tears to her eyes.
She liked listening to country music, and really enjoyed the occasional trip to Delaware Park.
